Security Council extends “cross-border aid delivery mechanism” in Syria …. Sabbagh: the mechanism is politicized

Security Council on Friday unanimously adopted a resolution on extending “cross-border aid delivery mechanism” for extra six months.

The Council adopted the draft resolution on delivering  the aid to Syria through Bab al-Hawa crossing and extending the rules of  resolution no.2533 for  year 2020 for more six months.

During a session of the Security Council, following extending the mechanism of “cross-border aid delivery” to Syria for more six months, Permanent Representative of Syria to the United Nations, Bassam Sabbagh, said that the two delegations of Russia and China, in addition to other delegations exerted efforts to shed light on sides that serve improving the humanitarian condition and delivering aid to those who are in need inside Syria.

Sabbagh added that the western states insisted to ignore those sides  and focused only on extending “cross-border aid delivery mechanism” that serves their agendas.

He  stressed that the Western states  turn a blind eye to  Syrians’ suffering and they continue  to violate Syria’s sovereignty and besiege  its people.

He added that Syria refuses this politicized mechanism as it violates the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, in addition to the grave faults that shaped  its work along with the failure in ensuring delivering the aid to the needy people, not to the terrorists.

Sabbagh stressed that the exaggeration of   some states in describing this mechanism is a misleading which aims to manipulate feelings of  the public opinion.

Syria’s Representative to the UN concluded by saying that Syria is committed to fulfilling the humanitarian needs for its citizens and providing support for those who are in need to alleviate the negative repercussions created by the terrorist war.
